I don't think the "$ value of a post" should be visible until payout time. Let it be a mystery.
You can't hide that data. It is on a public blockchain. You'll just incentivize someone to make a tool which can display the computation.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Umm, I suppose you didn't read the next part:
You must seem to think that 99% of people "use tools". They don't. Most people are lazy, or just take things at face value.
Right now, I bet you only 20% of people even use steemd.com to look at data IF - that..
So, I repeat:
Even if these values are in the blockchain, we don't need to make the problem worse via the gui by showing the dollar value of a post before payout.
It's kind of weird. I knew someone would come along and point out it is on a public blockchain, so I even acknowledged the fact they are on a blockchain, my suggest was strictly for the GUI. (..and of course tools can supplement steemit).

I think I'm just going to go sit down and let someone else point out the obvious again.
Sorry if the facts offended you. Users will demand to see the $ amounts. The GUI will meet demand.
